Anybody going to this tommorow, I will be there, If you liek Breaks and progressive sounds, Mr Zabiela is the man. Sasha has taken him under his wing as of late and many people in Europe say he is the next Sasha,

I have heard a couple of his sets and cds, and i must say he is very good, He has got huge reviews from his gigs all over Europe and the States.

It will be interesting how the Guv crowd takes to his music

I didn't go, but I've heard a few sets and I heard him at Homelands this year. Unbelievably skilled, just not my style. I'd be more inclined to just watch him then get into his tunes.

Posted by LazerGuy on Oct-06-2002 18:17:

hmm I found the beginning boring too but it got better and better..

Posted by bluE_Neon on Oct-06-2002 20:42:

well the first track of his set was very classy, started it off slow. but ya for some reason the next 4 tracks were boring, i wasn't too much into it. sooner or later i knew he wud start playing more banging stuff and so he did by dropping progressive nu-skool breaks, and holy fuck talking about Zabiela's scratching skills!!! this guy was scratching mad on the decks, amazing skills James he scratched so perfectly to the track ILS - 6 Space, that was pure amazement for me seeing a stylish dj like James Zabiela. overall, i liked his set, but it was too mellow, too much of Sasha style. some of the songs weren't really danceable, they were good for the mind consciousness
good job by Zabiela, 10/10 for his mixing skills! set 8/10

His set last night was the best Guest Set I have heard at GUV this year. I thought his tracks were off the hook. Some of his songs might not have been the "most obvious" tracks, but I loved his set. Lots of philthy breaks, some wicked rolling tech-house tracks! A man I was in heaven and his scratching was UNBELIEVABLE!!!

Zabiela gets a 10/10!!!

His set was different, I dont think ive ever heard a set like that before...he dropped all kinds of shit too which i liked alot, some techno, breaks, tribal house, bangin prog. house and even some prog trance!!!

Posted by LazerGuy on Oct-06-2002 20:55:

yeah very nice scratching indeed!
if anybody saw a guy with a dark blue, black leather tie...that was me!

trk iD!

first of all AWSOME NIGHT.....!

Ok, so who stayed till the end? Anyone knows the name of the song Mark dropped at around 6:35am somewhat Epic, Nice sharp Piano/Strings tones. Not too hard.

And another one at around 12:30 .. hard repetitive.

Hahaha, My descriptions blow!

Thanks!
